What about Wikipedia then?

While Johanna was working at Nokia she was acting as a main user of an internal wiki. It was not a Wikipedia but a project wiki storing all the important information R&D projects needed to operate.

In 2009 she created a Wikipedia account and the following year she started to create content for her customers after visiting Wikimania in Gdansk. She creates content in Finnish.

She is also active in Wikimedia movement – she was the member of board in Wikimedia Finland for 3 years and was leading the volunteers in her social media team creating content for Wikimania Stockholm in 2019.
